Except for Morgantown and Preston County, most of north central West Virginia dodged a more serious tornado threat Friday from the remains of Tropical Storm Cindy.

But, coming on the anniversary of the 1944 Shinnston tornado, the most deadly in West Virginia history, it was a scare that most could do without.

The Crab Shack Caribba on Cheat Lake got battered, but the owners hope to re-open sometime on Saturday.

Trees were toppled at Coopers Rock State Park.

A major accident pileup was reported near Hazelton, Maryland.

1,600 homes were without power in Monongalia County and another 100 in Preston County. 6,000 in the Mon Power area.

Parkersburg and Huntington got the most rainfall, well beyond 2 inches.

A flash flood warning was issued for Monongalia and Marion counties and for southeastern Greene and southwestern Fayette counties in Pennsylvania.

And for Harrison, Doddridge, Tyler, Taylor, Gilmer, Lewis and Tyler counties.

Apparently, the storm has moved out of the state. And another Shinnston tornado was averted.
